It is truly astounding to me how life has a way of pointing you in the right direction, and then continue to nag at you to pay attention. Perhaps it is the idea that summer is looming just ahead and the new year, but I have taken a new found interest in my health and fitness. I've been slowly changing up my diet and trying new exercise routines ever since the beginning of Feb. Due to the stress of life and a changing work schedule I tend to lose motivation for enhancing the quality of my life. That's where wpcentral comes into play.
I visit this website on a daily basis and oddly enough it's Fitness Month! Every week I visited I would download some of the recommended apps to assist in my diet and workout routine. It seemed like every time I visited, the site would remind me that I NEED to be taking care of myself by highlighting just a few more apps that could potentially fit my needs. I really enjoyed visiting wpcentral during Fitness Month because you handled the fitness theme with care and integrity, instead of becoming a storefront pushing paid apps. It was very refreshing and made visiting the website a joy. Couple that with the current experience of helping my girlfriend research and apply to a graduate program in Health Exercise and Nutrition. By becoming invovled with her journey to this new program I have picked up so many habits and information regarding healthy living. Thanks to my recent intrest in my health, my amazing girlfriend's passion for making healthy living her profession, and visiting one of my favorite websites at just the right time frame, I have been taking my health to a new level in a mere few weeks!

Fitness Month has inspired me to start training gett'n shape once again after i get a busy daily sheudle!! even when i has that strong fever last week! "i'm still recovring" i keep it up!! your advices was highly helpful, even if i don't use a smartphone yet!! due to where i liv :(

I was packing more holiday weight than I care to admit. February Fitness Month couldn't have happened at a better time. Knowing that there are my fellow readers taking part was more than enough to motivate me to keep fit.
Good luck everyone! :)

There are some quick things I have gotten out of MN Fitness month:
• There are so many ways to keep fit and the tools to help you are out there in a connected world
• One size does not fit all so the program you put together has to work for you
• Some/most of the mobile nations crew are in pretty good shape!
Some things that I already knew but was reinforced during the month:
• Check with your doctor to ensure your physical fitness conditions and what you can and shouldn’t do
• See a nutritionist. Not only will they help with a healthy diet (not just to lose weight) but they can suggest ways to help you reach the fitness and energy level you want
• Whatever you do to improve your fitness is a good thing. It doesn’t have to be big it could be as simple as a step in the right direction
There are more, but these are the ones that matter (to me). Thanks for the wealth of info.
Now back to my sit ups… 254, 255, 256…..

Thank you Mobile Nations and Fitness month. I have been doing the healthy thing for a little more than a year now, but I have been more focused on my goals this month. The daily threads and all the posts have been great!

My 'fitness month' really began iin Sept 2011, got tired of being slightly overweight at 190 lbs and 5'9. I decided to workout daily using the Kinect and EA sports active 2 for about 45 minutes everyday. Really only started seeing results once I started cutting back on the calories, within 5 months I dropped down 50 pounds to 140 and stayed there. I didn't go to any gym or use any fancy equipment, simply a kinect and some running shoes.
Throughout 2012 I've been gaining back muscle mass that I lost due to the fast weight loss; anytime you lose weight that quick you also burn muscle due to limited calorie intake and less muscle building exercises. I've put on 20 pounds of muscle in 8 months and intend to keep it up to pack a few more pounds on. My cardio sessions no longer are with the kinect :), it's much more advanced now - I use a weight vest and do running, jumps forward/back - side to side, push ups, squats.
My workouts now consist of 3 days of cardio and 3 days of weight training with moderately heavy weights for 2 hours everyday at 6 days a week. I've been doing this workout for 8 months straight and have not missed a single day.

So while fitness month didn't help me directly thats the great thing about it; it very likely will help someone to get back into shape and thats really promising to see. With the constant reinforcement it encourages people to lose the extra weight they've put on. Its the positive reinforcement and encouraging articles that help people get up and go do that workout. When your trying to lose weight you always have those few people who try to sabotage your diet either intentionally or think they are doing you a favor offering you a donut, having someone encourage you to lose weight like these fitness articles do is very positive.
It's really not that hard to lose weight, its simply you looking at the end goal and doing the exercises + diet and following through. Theres nothing complicated about it, just you having to follow steps and getting to the end result. Take small steps, and don't think of it as monumental - that will lead to giving up. Each small step you make leads to the final goal, if you give up you fall back to step one.

talking bout balance, i've not had enough sleep but the good news is that throughout the month of February, i have started using that long forgotten gym pass to my uni gym and get those blood pumping through myself. Started up badminton games which is fun as well and intensive :D. Hope to keep it up thoughout the year :D

Based on the previous editorial I purchased a fitbit one and an aria scale for myself and my wife, got three friends to also get involved, and have now lost just over ten pounds just by walking more and paying more attention to what I eat (mostly walking). Now we are in a competition to out-walk each other and I don't see the motivation ever ending. I actually rush outside and walk for an hour at 11:00PM just so that I can get all my steps in for the day before the midnight reset, even though it's freezing out! So basically Fitness Month helped me get on a fitness track and lose weight where I had no plans to do so previously. Thanks!

Every time I went to the site,I was motivated to turn around (after reading a few articles of course) and go to the gym for an hour or two. Normally when I'm bored I'd find my way to the site, but you guys quickly motivated me to get off my 8utt. Its a great motivation to an otherwise very lazy activity. Thanks so much guys/gals, and keep it up! :)

Thanks to the app Sleep Journal and Water Logger, I started to keep track of the amounts of sleep and water that I'm getting and drink everyday. I never knew I had so little sleep and drank so little water! Actually what's more important is that they actually had an positive effect on me and I've definitely improved at those aspects. Besides, I'm now lifting harder than ever with the help of Deekfit Gym, hopefully I'd gain more muscles soon. Btw I'd just like to say thanks for all the hardwork and keeping me updated with the latest news and updates.

You've all inspired me to get a Fitbit Zip and start tracking my daily stats. There's a lot to learn! It's only been a couple of days, but I'm already noticing patterns and trends that I hadn't before. Thanks, guys!

Fitness month has been motivational for me. I completely stopped exercising in January and the beginning of February, but in the last week and a half I've lost 4lbs. It may not seem like much but it is to me
Cheers,

okay, I haven't lost any weight... but i'm not big... not a stick either... i consider myself fairly fit... so instead of eating less, I began to eat better... hopefully I can stick to this for a long time though admittedly, I tend to change things up alot... also found a lot of apps to track my work... a stopwatch, a skiing progress tracker, and a food diary...

I've mostly sat on my butt this month. I do come to Mobile Nation everyday to look for updates. I live in a cold part of the US where its much easier to be lazy this time of year. I do have the SmartRunner app on my phone. In the summer I often bike to work and I'll use this app to track my distance and time. Keep up the good work!

For some reason I had never really thought to look into fitness apps on the phone always equating them with nike fitbit and other peripherals, but I took this opportunity and grabbed a few to test out over the next few weeks.

I started late as I missed the thread in the forums, but I was inspired to get up and do something - even a little is better than nothing - so I bought myself and my wife a FitBit Zen and joined the Windows Phone Fitbit Community, added loads of friends to make it a real challenge and I have started to walk more than I have for many years.
I go for a short walk after I leave my car in the office car park in the mornings, then I go for two walks at lunchtime (one before my sandwich and one after it), and then I go for a walk in the evenings before driving home. I have to confess that my wife takes some keeping up with!
My determination to get my mileage up this last weekend was dashed by the surprise arrival of acute gallstones on Friday afternoon which managed to disable me all weekend, however I'm fighting back now, but cursing those lost days.
It's a great shame that there isn't a Fitbit made app for my Nokia 920 but "DotNetNuzzi Fitbit Tracker" is a great alternative which I use in conjunction with the Nokia Maps app when I am out walking off those pounds.
So I may not be the hardest or the fastest, but I am extremely grateful to the community for starting this challege and getting me off my back side and doing something, as well as allowing me the opportunity to coerce my wife into challenging me.

I've been hearing a lot about MyFitnessPal from my friends, and I thought it was just another lame iOS / Android app. But then it appeared on WPCentral's Fitness Month article, read up about it, saw some positive reviews about it in the comment section, and so I decided to download the app. And the app is FANTASTIC! Beautiful, smooth MetroUI that makes it a really pleasant experience for showing off my progress to my friends and relatives.

Now my favorite apps on my phone are the WPCentral app and MyFitnessPal!

I've definitely found my balance this month: I've improved my squat, bench press, and deadlift all over 20 pounds during fitness month; I've adhered to a healthy, fresh, and natural diet; and I've finally normalized my sleep schedule to give myself the recharge I need.
Train like an animal, eat like a horse, sleep like a baby
oh, and record your progress like the fitness device of my dreams

I've been a Windows Mobile follower and now a Windows Phone fan! I own a bunch of Windows Mobile and Phone devices from imate, Qtek,htc, and now Lumia 920, which is my fav!
WPCentral is by far the best WP site that I've come across and I use it daily. When I came across the post about February being the fitness month, I was kind of chuckling because I actually started my fitness journey back in October 2012 and I completely my first round of fitness workout (P90X) a few weeks back.
I lost 25 lbs and 12% body fat from sticking to the workout and using MyFitnessPal for WP8 to keep track of my exercise and diet. Boy, that was quite a journey! I enjoy every moment of it!
I still use MFP to this day and I've logged 140 days consecutively since Oct 2012. Check it out on MFP. My username is "proton77" :)

Honestly, it put the fire back into my drive to get fit. I was hit by a car riding my bicycle to work back in April and since then I'd gained 50lbs. I used to ride and walk everywhere, I never drove. The accident cause physical damage which limited me physically and I just gave up. As of the beginning of this month, I pushed myself to get back up and make a change. I've lost 10lbs since and I'm not looking back!

I am currently the fitness rep in my my military duty station. I come up with cool workouts and help others become successful with dieting to achieve optimum fitness levels, watching the various posts on Fitness Month with Mobile Nations I've been slinging new ideas and inspiration left and right. My computer just crapped out on me and I was thinking of taking the mobile plunge. If you guys granted me a Surface I would be forever grateful!. Thanks guys

It's motivating to see fitness updates when you're only accountable to yourself and not working out with anyone else. It's hard some days and you need a kick in the butt, and seeing everyone else getting excited about their progress is a huge help, even moreso when you use tools like MyFitnessPal to track your diet and exercise. For that reason I also pre-ordered a FitBit Flex, even though it doesn't work with Windows Phone. It looks like an awesome tool to help you stay on track.

It is due to all the fitness tips I got....that I was so impressed I made an account here...now I am a glad member :)
Thank you Mobile Nations Fitness Month for changing my wrong habits and helping me adopt new healthy habits :)

It's reminded me that I need to keep fit during university. With lots of classes and work I don't have much free time, but Fitness Month has kept keeping in shape on my mind. I haven't lost any weight, because at 19 years old and my size, I don't need to, but I have maintained my weight and fitness.

I don't mean to brag and I dont mean to boast...j/k but the awareness was very helpful knowing I had my mobile community getting fit at the same time I am.

Steps I'v taken to drop 20 lbs in 26 days (from 235 to 215 and counting!):

#1) Watch "Forks Over Knives" and "Vegucated" on Netflix (mobile)
#2) Go Peskatarian, Take Corella (anti-mercury) with your salmon or albacore! $4 per half pound at the salad bar in your grocery store. Also the Chipolte veggie bowl is $6.82. I did zero exercise in my first week.
#3) Buy the armband for your mobile and use Map my Run/Ride and Zombies, Run!
#4) Sideload P90X on your phone and use it during your lunch break. You need a towel and a yoga mat.
#5) Enjoy the compliments that come with your new lifestyle!

I got inspired to find out that not all techies are couch potatoes. I've been not sitting down much more over the past few years, and it's nice to know that not all are slobby looking geeks. To all, keep up the good work the Mobile Fitness Month inspired.

Fitness Month hasn't been so much about inspiration or motivation for me as it has been about knowledge and information which can be used to make better choices. Because of WPCentral, I went out and purchased a FitBit, which I now wear everyday around the clock. It has given me information, not prevously available. I always figured that with my desk job, I wasn't really getting as much exercise as I should, but now I have true and relatively accurate feedback on my activity level. This information has caused me to make minor tweaks in my routine: I park farther away, I always take the stairs, I walk around the building during coffee breaks, while brainstorming, or while on my windows phone. I also paired my FitBit account with MyFitnessPal which gives me a beter idea of what I am consuming. So I opt for a banana with my coffe instead of banan bread. I eat carrat sticks intead of chips with my lunch, etc. Having the data in front of me keeps me accountable to myself; I cannot just estimate and fi=gure that i'm moving around enough or staying within a healthy calorie limit. These changes are simple ones that I have made and think will be easy to continue, unlike past decisions to join a gym or go for a daily run. Decisions which only last a couple of months before my busy life gets in the way. And I have WPCentral to thank for making me aware of the tools I now use to make these better informed decision about my lifestyle. Thank you.

I balance a lot, a full time job working 50 hours a week, a second job working 30 hours a week, a wife to keep happy, and an active 4 year old that has soccer, tball, school, and play dates to organize.

on top of that I am training for the Chicago marathon, and after losing 160lbs I am lifting and running my way to be an inspirational role model for all the people who want to lose the weight and look good but keep thinking whatever they see on TV or hear on the radio is the newest fad. The diet industry is a vicious cycle and a horrible marketing monster that preys on the fact that they KNOW you will fail.

eat better, lift weights, do some cardio each week, and stop sitting on the couch.

I say this to a lot of people, I don't know who said it first, but I say it a lot.

There are more places on this planet that you have NOT seen than you have seen, go out, live your adventure, have purpose, win your race, see your sight...it's never too late to start living.

I would get an Iphone5, because it would help simplify my life with my wife/daughter/schedule for training/work/running

i dont use any apps to track my progress but i give all these insights to my mom and dad. well im really skinny so i just eat all i can to put some meat on them bones. But my dad used to over eat and now i told him how to go about with it and explained all the details about how it takes 20 min for the brain to tell us that our stomach is full. i also take them with me for a morning walk and i take my dog along as well. Feb fitness month was really great and gave me alot of info which i really didnt know. I am going to keep me and my family fit and healthy from now on :)

I got a lot of great information on how to use my phone and other technology to help me get fit. The info on the FitBit product, in particular, has been an eye opener. I had no idea such technology existed and I can't wait to start using it!

Through all the apps and workout recommendations, as well as just living a healthier lifestyle mostly I've been motivated to get into the gym more and actually push myself. As for the future, it'll be a little more difficult but I plan on keeping up my gym time as much as possibly during my deployment.

Helped me get back on my bike recently (against the terrible weather we've had recently) and have been using WPC recommendations to record distances. While I'm not back up to the 100miles+ a day I clocked over the last summer I hope to be there soon :)

I got a fitbit based on a review I saw here and made a change in my diet. I'm eating less meat now. I've gone from 96 kilos down to 92. I'm happy and I think I will continue watching what I eat and what I do going forward.

I am exercising six days a week for 35 minutes starting at the beginning of January. I am tracking my workouts with endomondo pro and tracking my calorie intake with myfitnesspal. Having the tracking software on my phone has helped with motivation. I feel stronger and more alert. I sleep better.

Some new ideas which that i can add to what i am doing now. And a nice but of competitive inspiration from the wpcentral group on fitbit.com. So far this year i have lost 8lb and i am going to keep going.

Great! I needed something to kick start my fitness and re joining rowing. At 17 I lost to the gold medalist this year by 1.5 seconds in the u/23 so this fitness thing has inspired me to retrain but now with the medalist as he was one of my brothers former team members. I have started running with my sister on weekends (she has dropped 20kg), running to my sessions were i coach 14 year olds which is about 10km when i can, cycling to uni about another 20km every day, going rowing 5-6 mornings a week and when I have breaks a long ride.
IT has made me manage my sleep, i approximately get 8ish hours always told never less and if you cant just rest your eyes at you will be 95% of your sleep. So i go to bed 8:30ish - 9 and wake up about 5am for training. If I can I will have a nanna nap during the day.
As for food, I have cut a lot of junk out my system, big breakies after training porridge / cereal but I do have a few treats as my coach says since i dropped for 79kg to 71.8-73 (changes) and I am a light weight (72.5kg and below) I should keep my eating habbits right up so i don't go too light into the 60s.
In winter thanks to you kick starting my plan my coaches and former coachs at my old school i coach at have created to bulk me up muscle wise in winter. I am 2 weeks into rowing but a month or two into my general fitness which this comp made me not give up on. They say it takes a month to create a fitness habbit and you guys have helped me. So thank-you from Tom Fairclough

I've always been a real health nut with my diet but the physical exercise aspect had always been lacking. This month helped me to challenge myself physically and be all the more healthy. Im saving up and waiting for the new fitbit device to launch. I feel like having that tracker band will be a great reminder to push myself to stay more active.

I've been inspired to find a balance between my study time and exercise time. As a student, I always study hard to get good grade all the time, that's why I am lack of exercise. I will plan regular exercise throughout the year while still maintaining the balance between it and my academic life.

I think I got a lot out of the fitness month. I downloaded Runtastic and Zombies, Run! and started going running on a regular basis. My body just feels much better now that I am doing sport on a regular basis again.
Thanks guys for motivating me for sport! :)

Im not gonna lie i didnt download any of the fitness apps but reading the articles and post did motivate me to start using the treadmill and running outside quite a bit more then i used to. I feel like i have alot more stamina and im even considering joining the military as a result. I just want to push myself more and more and alotta of thanks is to these articles on mobile nations (wpcentral) THANKS GUY!

I've got some nice advices and advertisements. And I'd discovered some awesome and helpful apps that may be I wouldn't have founded by myself.
And I've got all of this from a friendly community which includes both of my hobbies: tech and fitness.

All these fitness posts during mobile fitness month have really made me think about living a healthier life to be a better example for my son. With all these apps that are out there I can really get excited about living healthy. Hopefully that excitement will rub off on my son as he gets older.

i use my phablet during all my workouts, gyms have some of the most awful playlists and tracks that do not help with maintaining concentration while working out. i've maintained my weight, but have converted a lot, and i mean A LOT of fat into muscle. i look and above all FEEL GREAT! thanx for the all the inspirations to keep me motivated!

Balance is really the watchword now. I've gained and lost a lot during this past month and not just myself. My husbear and a number of ours friends. We'be banned together to really USE technology to recapture Balance in our fitness routines, our eating habits and our bodys. Pure numbers are much easier to measure, Balance isn't. My husbear and I plan our meals now using LoseIT! every Sunday before shopping and then have incorporated Zumba Fitness as a couples activity every Saturday morning, which also helps us not to drink if we go out Friday night. I personally have gone from 256 lbs to 245.1 as of this morning. More importantly is the increased energy and decreased body fat. I'm down from 38% to 27.8%. It's the marriage of Tech, Motivation and Determination along with a strong support system that has returned both of US to a state of Balance. Thanks for lighting a fire that's lead to these wonderful changes.

Fitness month came alongside month 2 of p90x so I was well on my way to fitness. Its always nice to read/watch other people getting in shape though. The companionship is really motivating. And when it comes to health and fitness theres always something new to learn.

I just started 2 weeks ago to being in a diet, working out and eating healthy but this makes me happy to know that I will get rewarded. I would like a Nexus 7 32gb and something that will hold it near me when I run. Thank you for this!!

I have lost weight, slept better, ate healthier and felt better all month. I've also lost 10 pounds! The contests helped motivate me and knowing that everyone else in the Mobile Nations community was participating made me want to as well. If I got the gift card, I would get a Nexus 4 to help me track runs with Zombies, Run! and track everything else with Fitocracy. Thanks so much Mobile Nations!!!!!!!

This month and the newly released apps helped and inspired of alot. Now, with more new inspiration and energy i restarted my gym which i left out a month ago beacause of getting on time for it. Truly it helped me making sense of living a healthier life.

<p>mobile nations fitness month jolted me out of a near death situation due to weight. thank you so much. i am now doing 30 minutes on my livestrong treadmill. but i must say that, it was not easy going from 5 minutes to 30 minutes 4 days a week. thank you so much.really appreciate what you are doing(changing lives for better)</p>

Made me feel motivated and inspired by the aspects of shredding 10 Kilos in such a short period of time. Planning to keep up with the fitness course and work hard to acheive a better lifestyle, a balance between work, family and fitness. A perfect way to stay healthy!
Previously sat on the couch for approx 2hours after work now I hardly get to relax on the couch (only if I have companies) but other than that, its been superb!

Well I have been trying to do the opposite.. Trying to put on some wait.. (I am almost underweight for my height)
But I did follow your videos and figured in generality it should be pretty similar right?
So started eating healthier, Working out a bit more (better use of free time), and going on runs in the evening.
Gained only 1 Kg as yet though :(

I have been very inspired by Fitness Month these past few weeks. Two apps in particular I used that have been referenced during this period are Maps and WaterLogger. Currently, both of my parents are going through major health problems at the moment (my mom has kidney stones and my dad has heart problems) and I've been a periodic Asthma sufferer my whole life, so Fitness Month couldn't have come at a more ironic time for me. I've realized during this period (1) the importance of life, (2) the importance of taking care of my own life, and (3) how my actions can affect those around me, not just myself.
Being that it is summer weather now, I have opted out of short distance driving in favor of walking to close destinations, and the Maps GPS function has allowed me to track the amount of distance I covered visually and see my progress in real-time, rather than referencing an odometer and fuel gauge. I see the path I can take, with the black and white checkered flag as my goal. With this, I can feel a sense of accomplishment when I get to where I need to be: "I've arrived" is less a "finally Iʻm here" and more of an "I'm proud of doing what I just did, and I can relive it going back home."
Speaking of summer weather, it is hot and humid so heat strokes are a possibility which is why I also started using WaterLogger. I've enjoyed eating healthy and taking vitamins for quite some time, but I tended to forget intaking more of the building block of many of our foods, water. WaterLogger allowed me to track my progress in drinking water, not only to get an adequate amount of H20 in my body daily but to combat dehydration and heat strokes that other people I've heard of have recently suffered from.
In conclusion, I've started to take actions in staying healthy during Fitness Month, as the baby steps are what lead to the long-term goals in life. Maps and WaterLogger are a few of the apps that have changed my life within these few weeks, and I will continue referencing Fitness Month articles to test even more apps. The health conditions my parents are going through, along with the articles written for Fitness Month, made me realize my own health is my most valuable thing on Earth and I should be taking care of it as much as or even more than the other tangible things I take care of. Taking care of myself means I will be around longer to meet my future children, and grandchildren, and possibly inspire others that I come in contact with throughout my lifetime. I feel healthier even as an Asthma sufferer, I feel motivated to continue this progress, but most importantly I am feeling better every day.
Thanks, Mobile Nations! Congratulations to everyone else that has had changes in their lives!

I got the greater tips, such as apps like endomondo and my fitness friends. Also the community of people's support and tips have been great (i've mostly lurked them) and the podcasts as well! Before the mobilenations I didnt know how exactly to incorporate tech and workout, but now I do!

Thanks to your fitness coverage on Fitness month, firstly I have some apps on my Windows Phone with the finesse and fitness worthy of your coverage. and secondly thanks to the apps, I am up and about more than before, cause what else to motivate geeks like me than a shiny app on my shiny phone?

Fitness month has helped motivate me to get back in the habit of exercising more. I've lost and kept off 40 pounds since May of last year, and when the holidays came, I kinda fell out of the habit of working out regularly. Basically, it guilted me into doing what I know I should be doing already.

Well for me it's relaxtion and how it's important to take some time out in our crazy schedules!!
The wealth of information (with a little help from out TECH) goes a long way to remind us to we need to take care ourselves! Mind, Body & Soul!!
Cheers!

As much as I'm already a fitness buff, it was very buff to read about all the buff tech that can help achieve my buff goals. I'll most likely buy one of those buff Fitbit step readers and hope to see my buffness increase to new high buffs. Buff!

I got alot of inspiration from all your work...went out got a fit bit...working on my exercise and this was the perfect time. In January I put myself onto a plant based diet....not I'm all set to start working out. This was just the next boost I needed thanks guy...keep up the great work wpcentral

I have become more interested in all aspects of fitness. I've engaged in using new fitness apps, such as Endomondo and MyFitnessPal. I've been drinking more water than ever before, and I've been eating healthier than I ever have before. I've also been getting more exercise, and I look forward to even greater health in the future.

So I haven't really attempted to enter the contests being held during mobile fitness month even though I've read every single post and been creeping on the forum posts and comments. I've been exercising for quite awhile (about 9 months) now striving to lose a little weight and get into shape. I wouldn't say I wasn't happy with myself, just a little uncomfortable in my skin and wanted to tone up and improve my somewhat lethargic lifestyle. For the past 9 months I've been working towards those goals and trying to eat healthier and go to the gym as often as possible, over Christmas and January however I started to slip and regress to my old ways and then Fitness Month came along. I can't thank you guys enough for helping me back into my routine. Its amazing to know how many other people are here in this community that have the motivation to keep on going even when the going gets tough. I've been moved and inspired by quite a few comments on these threads and I can't thank you guys enough. No matter what happens don't give up on your goals, you can make it!

Also sorry for the long post, I just didn't know how else to describe my experience with less words.

Fitness month has motivated me to start getting healthy so that I may live a long and exciting life. Need to get in shape by mid May for mine and my wife's trip to the Dominican Republic! A nice shiny device would be a great companion on the trip!!

It's been good to read up on everyone acheivements. I've been crossfitting for about a year now and being able to come to my favorite tech site to see what others have accomplished helps me stay motivated to stay in shape during the hardest time of the year to stay motivated. Seeing all of the apps that help support a healthy lifestyle has also helped. I didn't track anything until now.
